The elopement from Newark, N. j., to
Rutland of DIR. f. G. Jones and his book
keeper, Miss Jennie Gade, has created a
stir in the latter community. Jones is a
specialist in cancer cure and when adver-
tising for patients, boldly inserted his
portrait in the papers. 1t is asserted that
when they left Newark, Miss Gade took
with her sealskin sack, jewelry and
clothing of other boarders valued at $l75
and also 800 in money borrowed of a
Newark lover, Harry Colclargh, whom il
is said she Tilted for the doctor. Newark
officers have been up and taken Miss
Gade home with them and the Rutland
authorities have the doctor in limbo for
adultery. Mrs. Jones has arrived on the
scene, but lays all the blame upon the
other woman.
